I find the dresses I wear tend to cling to lycra, but I'll certainly be drilling the frame to mount a water bottle. I'm not sure if i'm confident to ride after dark as I find the dark frightening, but if I can muster the courage then dynamo lights will also be a must.

My son's mini burner arrived today. The worrying thing is it fits me quite well. I'm seriously thinking of giving it a wipe over and riding it on the Chester ride

1984 RALEIGH Branded Unidirectional 24" Cruiser tires.
Over the moon with these. Never seen a set in anywhere near close to this condition.
Raleigh were a pain in the ass with having parts specifically branded for them. The 1984 Raleigh USA R Series were even worse.
The unidirectional tires were made specifically for the range. Never thought i would see the wheels on my R7000 24" never mind the tires to go on it in this condtion too.
Happy days.

Good score Glynn, this thread is great for showcasing rarities like this.

I'm looking forward to getting them on the wheels and then posting up some fresh pics with the updated parts.
Roll on the light sunny days.

Earmarked for your cruiser build?

Landed these NOS JMC 6" Standard bars, not quite as rare as APs but still took me a loooong time to find. Stoked.

Yeah mate, never done one before. $:-\$ Am struggling on tyres and rims for it. Not a problem though at the moment as pennies are a bit tight.
I think this is why i offered it up for sale as if i was to build another 20" i pretty much have all the parts needed in spares and it wouldn't cost me anything.
No-one wants it so i'm deciding to keep it now and build, it's off at the powder coaters now being stripped of it's old powder.
